<b>Rabbinical Judaism was another Flavian Christ cult. </b>Simply compare
the passage where Zakkai applies the messianic prophecy to Vespasian
in Giá¹ 56b, to the story in Wars where Josephus applies the messianic
prophecy to Vespasian. One is based upon the other. Both events take
place during Roman sieges where a Jewish priest escapes in a manner
that figuratively brings him back from the dead, is captured by the
Romans and taken to Vespasian to whom he, rather improbably, applies
the `Star Prophecy'. Vespasian then rewards the priest when his
prediction comes to pass.
The notion that Rabbinical Judaism is a Flavian cult (it is really
just the Herodian Sanhedrin after the war) is a no-brainer in that
all the rabbis involved with the establishment of Rabbinical Judaism
were known to have been connected to Rome. The `friends of the
emperor' Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai and Gamaliel II presided over the
first setting of the canon of the Hebrew Scriptures, Rabbi Meir, a
Roman who purportedly converted to Judaism on a trip to Judea,
organized the Mishnah, and Judah Ha-Nasi, the confidant of the
Antoine emperors, began the organization of the central work of
Rabbinical Judaism, the Talmud. My favorite `Jew' is `Onkelos' the
nephew of Titus Flavius who wrote the Targum. Onkelos brings Jesus
and Uncle Titus back to life for a chat about the future of Israel.
High comedy by the Flavian wits.
